2nd Annual Benefit Concert

for the Rock and Roll

Hall of Fame

Sponsorship Packages

A line-up comprised of some of Rock & Roll’s best-known

front men, including Jack Bruce of Cream and members

of Jefferson Airplane, Styx, Traffic, Deep Purple, Grand Funk Railroad, Blue Oyster

Cult and more got together to stage one of the most

memorable shows of 2008.

  On September 6, Koka Booth Amphitheatre in Cary will again play host to one of the most anticipated concert events of 2009 -- the 2nd Annual Benefit Concert for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame + Museum.

Only 7,000 people will be fortunate enough to score a ticket to witness some of Rock’s most legendary performers on-stage.

Pre-show activities include a VIP sponsor and artists party (pending artist availability) the evening prior to the concert and sponsor hospitality prior to and during the show.

In the true spirit of Rock and Roll, the Rock Hall is limiting the number of corporate partners invited to participate in the concert so as to avoid “over commercializing” the event.

2009 Rock Hall Inductee Darryl McDaniels, best known as D.M.C. from the groundbreaking hip-hop group Run-D.M.C.

Legendary female rocker Patty Smyth and her 1980s hit making band Scandal

94 East, the band widely credited with defining the “Minneapolis Sound,” and whose musical heritage intersects with that of Prince, Morris Day and Andre Cymone, among countless others

Alternative rockers Blessid Union of Souls, whose hits include “Hey Leonardo (She Likes Me for Me) and “I Believe”

.

Artists scheduled to perform include:

The pride of Long Island, NY -- Nine Days -- whose breakout hits “Absolutely (Story of A Girl) and “If I Am” vaulted the band to stardom earlier this decade

Midwestern favorite the Freddy Jones Band, whose recently released CD “Time Well Wasted” has spawned numerous hits on college radio including the fast-rising singles “Home Thing” and “In a Daydream”

Two Southern rock standard bearers that need no introduction -- the Atlanta Rhythm Section and the Georgia Satellites

And finally, Yes drummer Alan White’s latest version of perennial Rock Hall favorite the White Sox All-Star Band, which last year brought the house down with its nearly two-hour set of Yes, Queen, the Hooters and Jimi Hendrix classics
